Punch Newspapers Sections Published 5:25 am 72-year-old Mr Ray Ekpu was a close associate of the late popular journalist, Dele Giwa, who was murdered in Ikeja, Lagos on October 19, 1986 with a bomb enclosed in a parcel. In this interview with OLADIMEJI RAMON, the veteran journalist recounts the life and times of his friend and the circumstances of his death When and how did you meet Dele Giwa? I met him physically in June 1980 but I met him through his writings as far back as 1979; I think that was when he came back from America and started working at Daily Times as Features Editor. I was reading him avidly at that time. In 1979, I was Editor of Nigerian Chronicle in Calabar and I think he started working at Daily Times in 1979. I started reading him and I admired his writing.
